Just another WordPress weblog

Hurricane Irene is missing us (which is sort of unfortunate as we really really need the rain). However, because I have family and friends in the path, as well has have lived in many of the places she will hit I’ve been watching with great interest. What is amazing is seeing individuals who have uploaded video in near real time – from North Carolina, and finding that indexed by a site in the UK (the BBC). We really are in an interconnected world, that is somehow different from not that long ago. I hope the emergency services and evacuation plans work with a tenth that efficiency.
